    "abstract": "A mega-tramway based on the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Java is\nproposed to span Sunda Strait. The Java-Sumatra Aerial Mega-Tramway (JSAMT)\nwill be self-elevating and will regularly and cheaply launch passengers and\ncargoes via two conveyor belt-like facilities using standard winged shipping\ncontainers like those currently used by international trucking and ocean\nshipping industries that are volplaned across the Sunda Strait. The JSAMT will\nbe a self-sustaining toll facility free of any requirement for international\nloans or funding guarantees for its construction. Its existence will remove any\nimmediate need for an expensive to dig/maintain Nusantara Tunnel. We offer the\nformative basic technical specifications for the JSAMT and indicate some of the\nphysical and cultural geographical facts underpinning our macro-engineering\nproposal; offshoots of a perfected and tested JSAMT may be installed at Palk\nStrait between India and Sri Lanka, the Gibraltar Strait and the Bering Strait\nby mid-21st Century.",
